Version Lens for Visual Studio Code

This project is active, not sponsored or funded.

This extension shows version information when opening a package or project file in vscode.
It abides by semver rules and uses the Node Semver package to compare and sort versions.

The following languages are supported:

• cargo (rust) https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/
• composer (php) https://getcomposer.org/
• dotnet https://www.dotnetfoundation.org/
• dub https://code.dlang.org/
• maven (java) https://maven.apache.org/
• npm (node) https://www.npmjs.com/
  • jspm https://jspm.org/
  • pnpm https://pnpm.io/
• pub (dart) https://pub.dev/
• python https://pypi.org/

NOTE

TOML needs an extenstion that registers the TOML language with vscode. e.g. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=tamasfe.even-better-toml

I'm not able to install this extention

Try a clean install:

• Shut down vscode
• Delete the extension folder {home}/.vscode/extensions/pflannery.vscode-versionlens*
• Open vscode and try reinstalling the extension again

If that fails then have a look in the output channel and choose the Log (Extension Host) in thedrop down. Report the problem here if this doesn't help.

How do I troubleshoot this extension?

• Ensure you have "editor.codeLens": true set in your settings.

• Try resetting the cache by running the clear cache command (ctrl+p then type "Clear Cache") This setting can be changed using versionlens.caching.duration.

  You can try setting this value to 0 when doing tests but recommended to keep around 3 minutes for normal usage.

• Version lens writes a log to an output channel in vscode.

  If your experiencing issues please set your versionlens.logging.level to debug (vscode needs to be restarted)

  Then open the channel like:

  

• In the worst case no logs are output. There maybe an error in the developer tools of vscode. You can open the dev tools from the help menu in vscode (Ctrl+Shift+I)
